Related Topics: Grant Nelson, Nate Oats

Alabama is hoping to have its top rebounder back during its trip to Cleveland for the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament. Veteran forward Grant Nelson will be a game time decision for the Crimson Tide’s matchup against No. 15 seed Robert Morris on Friday.

Nelson suffered a left knee injury in Alabama’s loss to Florida in the semifinals of the SEC Tournament last weekend. Coach Nate Oats gave an update Monday after Nelson saw a specialist and initially ruled him questionable for Friday’s game. Nelson maintained that status and Oats is hoping the forward can bounce back enough to be available by tipoff.
